Really, in Physics, it is moreso application than ability which determines how well you will go. Last year, i had some extremely smart students who were not all that applied and some not so bright students who studied continuously. One of the bright students ended up getting a high Band 4 (79)...

Whilst the preliminary physics and chemistry course are not directly assessed in the HSC examination, all prelim phys and chem content is "assumed knowledge" for the HSC course. Eg, using the wave equation in world communicates is also applied in HSC course topic 3 - ideas to implementation...

Physicists’ primary means for developing the understanding of fundamental constituents of matter is by using particle accelerators, where beams of particles moving at relativistic speeds are fired at a target, or two high energy beams moving in opposite directions are brought close together...

I would like those PKC papers :) I dont have CSSA 2009 sols tho.. I do however, have around 500 other trial papers? (most with solns)

HSC Tutoring Year 12 Physics (Starting Term 4, 2010) in the Hills district, or surrounding suburbs or in the vicinity of Parramatta About me / Experience: My name is Chris, I am in my 4th year of teaching Physics in a Western Sydney High School in the Blacktown area. I am...

The wavelength of the spectral line is related to the energy difference between the initial and final energy state. The single electron has more than one possible final/initial energy state combination. Kind of like walking up stairs, you can take one at a time (lower energy) or take 2 at a...

The past 6 or 7 years marks of between 78-84 have been scaled up to give a band 6. So I suppose aim for 85

Yep, the model heating coil is in "Electrical Energy in the Home" Basically, increased current = increased chances of electrons colliding with the lattice = increased resistance = increased heat

In reality both electrons and holes are responsible for current in a semiconductor and it depends on what is termed their "mobility" As far as we're concerned in the HSC course, "holes" make it easier for electrons to move, as there are free spaces for the electrons to move into. Electrons can...

I would suggest also adding something about either none or all of the energy of the photon being transferred to the electron and any energy above the work function being transformed into the KE of the electron. (perhaps directly after where you put the equation E=hf) Apart from that, sounds good.

Hey, i just differentiated 15x^2 to 30x i.e., 15x^2/dx = 30x

Isn't the general solution for second order differential equation: y = Ae^2x + Be^x but don't you require boundary conditions to solve specific equations? what is 2'?

bwahahaha. what a noob i am geez, i gotta refresh on this stuff

OMG, it has been 9 years since i have done Math like this, but i will try :) So, we know the following: 1. y = x^3 2. rate at which x-co ord increases (i.e., dx/dt) = 5 units/sec We want the rate at which the gradient increases, which is essentially (dy/dx)/dt So: from 1. dy/dx = 3x^2 we...

Instead of putting eggs in there, put ball bearings in there. Let one ball bearing roam around free between the pits. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee Could keep you entertained for hours! :D

There are several different definitions of intensity, even within different branches of physics! Easiest definition to think about for this case is what stampede said. Intensity is all to do with the number of photons per unit area, essentially the 'concentration' of photons.

Really, either could be considered independent variable, depending on the experiment. Eg, if you are measuring how secondary voltage changes when you change input voltage then the indep in the input voltage However, if you are determining how the secondary voltage changes when you...
